However, it still did not fix this issue. It just puts the label directly on one of the border lines. I suspect that I need to include the county boundaries as a polygon layer and label them. I will see if that gets me anywhere.<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: "tchaddad@gmail.com" <tchaddad@gmail.com><br>To: Thomas Campitelli <tomcampitelli@yahoo.com><br>Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 7:06:18 PM<br>Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Polygon labeling<br><br>

Instead, they are labeled outside of each shape. I am displaying the polygons as lines in the map. Is that my problem? If so, how do I get around it. I have no wish to fill my polygons with color. Thanks in advance for any help. The relevant portion of my map file is shown below:<br><br>LAYER # Counties polygon layer begins here<br>
